UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

CHARLES IV. MoKINNEY, OF EAST BUTTE, MONTANA.

TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,504, dated June 28,1904.

Application filed April 30, 1903.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. MCKIN- NEY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at East Butte, in the county of Silverbow and State ofMontana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTobacco-Pipes; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements intobacco-smoking pipes; and its object is to provide means for collectingthe saliva and for retarding the passage of smoke through the stem inorder that the nicotin may be collected and the smoke cooled, a furtherobject being to provide a device of this character which is very simplein construction, durable in use, efficient in operation, and inexpensiveto manufacture.

With these and other objects in View the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts,as will be hereinafter more fully described,and particularly pointed outin the appended claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is acentral longitudinal sectional viewthrough my improved pipe. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same,showing the parts separated. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view throughthe stem.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 1 denotes thebowl or tobacco-receptacle of the pipe, which is formed with a reducedneck 2 and is provided with a removable tube 3, which enters the passagethroughthe neck and communicates with the bottom of the bowl. The bowlis detachably secured upon the stem 4: by the frictional engagement ofthe neck 2 in one end of the stem. The stem is preferably cylindricaland hollowed to form a smoke-chamber and salivareceptacle 5, which maybe of any desired shape, size, or length. The mouthpiece 6 is detachablysecured in the opposite end of the stem by the frictional contact of thereduced portion or neck 7. The ends of the stem may be strengthened bythe bands or ferrules 4. A tube 8, similar to the tube 3, is removablyfitted in the bore or smoke-passage Serial No. 155,028. (No model.)

of the mouthpiece and extends into the smokechamber of the stem parallelto the tube 3 and overlapping the same. By thus having the outlet end ofthe tube 3 and the inlet end of the tube 8 at opposite ends of the smokechamber or receptacle the smoke will be caused to take a backward coursethrough the smokechamber from the end of tube 3 to the end of tube 8,thereby cooling the same and permitting the nicotin to settle upon anabsorber 9, which is preferably a piece of blotting-paper placed in thechamber to form a partial lining for the same. The tube 3 is located atsuch a distance from the inner surface of the stem 4 that the sheet ofabsorbent material 9 can be slipped in between them after the stem hasbeen placed upon the reduced portion of the neck 2, after which themouthpiece 6 can be inserted in the outer end of the stem. By arrangingthe parts in this way and forming the absorber as a semicylinder it willbe held in position by the tube 3 and there will be no danger of thetube 8 engaging with its upper portion and displacing it when themouthpiece is inserted, as might occur if the ab sorber were cylindricaland extended up into the portion of the stem into which the tube 8 isprojected. The importance of this con struction will at once becomeapparent, and especially when the inner end of the tube 8 overlaps theinner end of the tube 3 far enough to permit of a wide strip ofabsorbent material being used and yet permit of the end of each tubeextending beyond its respective edge of the material. The chamber orreceptacle 5 will also retain the salivaand moisture from the mouthpieceand prevent the same from entering the pipe-bowl. By making the bowl andmouthpiece easily detachable the parts may be quickly taken apart andcleaned and a fresh piece of absorbent material may be insorted in thechamber at any time.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inventionwill be readily understood without requiring a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the. form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of l semicylindrical piece ofabsorbent material this invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

A'tobacco-pipe comprising the bowl, a hollow stem secured thereto and amouthpiece detachably secured to the stem, a tube from the bowl and atube from the mouthpiece, each projecting into the stem, the inner endsof which tubes overlap and are eccentric to each other and to the axisof the stem, and a secured between the inner surface or the stem and theinner end of the tube from the bowl 5 of the pipe.

1n testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

CHARLES W. MCKINNEY.
